Storage of the Vehicle
Long-time storage:
For vehicles that will be parked for longer then a month, the following
items need to be performed.
* Drain all fuel from carburetor and fuel tank.
* Remove spark plug. Pour a tablespoon of clean engine oil into the
cylinder. Using the kick start, turn the engine over 10-
20 times to
evenly distribute oil inside the cylinder.
* Remove the battery and place on a trickle charger.
* Wash the vehicle and wipe dry with a soft cloth. Wax
the painted
surfaces, and apply a film of anti-rust oil to the chrome surfaces.
* Increase the tire pressure to the normal specification if low.
* Cover the vehicle and store it in a well-ventilated, waterproof area.
When removing from storage:
* Clean the vehicle. Replace the engine oil if the vehicle has been
sitting for more than 4 months.
* Check the battery. Reinstall and verify all connections are secure.
* Refill fuel tank.
* Perform a visual inspection and check for leaks.
Caution
Failure to keep the battery on a trickle charger during prolonged periods of storage will result in electric start problems.
